Hello everyone! I am looking for information on how to construct your own lamp. My mom is into birdhouses and what I'd like to do is cover a basic birdhouse with polished stones and then turn it into a lamp. I am curious as to what to use for a bonding agent between the stones and the birdhouse and how to do the lamp portion. Any information wold be helpful. Thanks!

Go to your local craft store. They have unfinished wood birdhouses, directions, and supplies for the project you are talking about. Ours even has a selection of stones (in their tabletop fountain section). Have fun - lucky mom.
